Title: Preparation of heterocyclic compounds
Post by: BaffledBrewer on November 07, 2006, 12:07:27 PM

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to prepare heterocyclic products from CO2 alone?

By this i mean to create a mole of either 1, 3-dioxa-2, 4-cyclobutanedione or 1, 2-dioxa-3, 4-cyclobuatedione from simply 2 moles of CO₂.

If this is possible, what would be the reaction conditions?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Brewer
